Is it just me who seems to think that boys are given harsher punishments than girls in schools?

Akrincheus_ · 2021-09-25T12:51:13+00:00

The UK is a super sexist country

ExpiredPilot · 2021-09-25T16:40:31+00:00

Me and a girl got caught doing NSFW stuff at school. I was suspended for two weeks. I asked out of curiosity if she was being suspended for two weeks too. The principal gave me a weird look and said “we’re not suspending her”.

mypasswordisnot38838 · 2021-09-25T13:32:41+00:00

This happened in my school:

Teacher yells at students for sitting on the floor,then turns around and realises that they were girls and teacher smiles and says “oh sorry i thought that it was the boys”

Cindylynn43 · 2021-09-25T16:50:55+00:00

It's not just you. I have witnessed this many times in both public schools and colleges. Apparently, teachers and administration are okay with these double standards. Personally, I find it harmful to boys & young Men. Not to mention giving Girls/young Women to feel superiority and view their Male classmates in a negative light. Which is also harmful to the development of Male/Female interactions in adulthood.

xm791 · 2021-09-25T14:09:15+00:00

Schools are generally absolutely terrible when it comes to things like that. The worst bullies never get expelled or have any consequences and the guys who make some minor mistakes like coming to late or not going to school because of intensive bullying, gets kicked out of school. Studying/Working is a lot better.

HelpMeGetAName · 2021-09-25T14:15:01+00:00

You're not the only one because that's a fact all over the world. Girls also usually get more marks because of bias.

The_big_A666 · 2021-09-25T15:30:11+00:00

I go to an all boys school so I have avoided all of this shit. I am very thankful

ExtremEli · 2021-09-25T13:00:29+00:00

Yeah this shit is correct had 2 girls watch pornography at school teachers didn't to shit pretty much and then on of my mates was playing games in class and got YouTube or some shit. I can't really remember

wootangAlpha · 2021-09-25T13:00:31+00:00

Its true even in other parts of the world.

Cosmic-Gore · 2021-09-25T14:35:50+00:00

Yup, what's worse is the sexism that boys can't be sexually harassed.

I remember in secondary school (year 9 14-15yrs), we had an activity day which was every 2 weeks and we got to choose what we wanted to do (Can't repeat an activity you've chosen previously)

I ended up choosing a different activity and got put in with large group of girls with another boy (let's call him Tom). Tom is quite overweight and kind of short.

And as you would of guessed he was teased and verbally abused along the way, Tom didn't react and tried to hide his presence as much as possible, seeing this the group of girls got even more out of hand, 2 of the girls would start to try and grab his moobs (man boobs) which the teacher noticed and just gave a verbal warning and moved them away.

Didn't stop them tho, it got worse as they would continue to do it, making mean remarks along the way.

Now imagine if a group of boys surrounding a girl and molested her and trying to pull her t-shirt off etc...

Worst of all, when he had enough and pushed a girl away he got put in Student Confinement for a week and banned from the next activity day whilst the girls only had detention for that day.

Ensifror · 2021-09-25T14:36:49+00:00

This is true. And it extends to every aspect of society. Women also get less severe sentences for identical crimes and are less likely to get caught

spamtheant · 2021-09-25T15:07:16+00:00

It might seem harsh but its an important life lesson. Women will be treated far more leniently they will be believed over men unless there is absolutely overwhelming evidence to the contrary and in a situation of conflict between a man and a women the women will always be favoured.

You need to be very careful in selecting the women you get close to and if you get in a conflict with a woman you need to be smart and under no circumstances whatsoever should you defend yourself against a woman.

Its harsh, its unfair but its life as a man, better to recognise it and behave accordingly than belief in the fantasy of equal treatment and have your life destroyed. Don't live oin fear but a woman can destory your life with an accusation so don't associate with women who talk about men badly, or claimed an ex abused or maltreated them them. Its not worth the risk you will be the next one they are talking about.

Its not all negative, most women are fine but you have to be careful about the ones who take advantage of societies bias.

I was once punished because a girl was caught talking in assembly. All the boys in may class were asked to apologise to her (why ?). I refused on the basis I had done nothing to her. In return I was made to stand facing the wall until I did. It lasted all day. At least in your case you were punished for something you did rather than refusing to apologise because a girl was rightly punished for something she did instead of a boy. This was in the 60s so nothing has changed.

thunderstorm-nigg · 2021-09-25T17:12:21+00:00

It's been that way for as long as I was in school (20+ year)

YesAmAThrowaway · 2021-09-25T15:04:41+00:00

There is empirical evidence showing this is true.

RazerMax · 2021-09-25T17:50:17+00:00

It's not just a thought, it's a reality.

ripyourlungsdave · 2021-09-25T23:45:46+00:00

When I was in middle school I got punched in the face after making a very boring yo momma joke. Suspended our school for three days and the other kid top one day in school suspension.

A few weeks later, a male student punches a female student after she attacked him with slaps. They gave her a week off of school just to “recover” despite her being the aggressor. So at least back in 2006 it was a major issue.

veriox22 · 2021-09-25T17:59:40+00:00

Νο its not you, its the school system

1007Con · 2021-09-25T23:03:48+00:00

She probably played victim, classic move. She essentially made a simple argument sound more like verbal abuse (limited to women, men aren't capable of being offended in societies eyes)

StudentOfTheTruth0 · 2021-09-26T04:33:29+00:00

Not just boys, men, too.

"In 2012 Sonja B. Starr from University of Michigan Law School found that, controlling for the crime, "men receive 63% longer sentences on average than women do," and "[w]omen are…twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted", also based on data from US federal court cases

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentencing_disparity

Even Wikipedia admits this (and Wikipedia is an extremely biased, feminist and woke controlled outlet).

Intelligent_Problem4 · 2021-09-25T16:27:38+00:00

Here in India they hit us with scale because we spent 2 extra minutes in toilet.But girls bunk their entire classes yet are allowed to walk inside the class because they are a girl.If a girl hits us it's funny but if a boy hits back,he is a woman beater, a future rapist,a playboy and a loser.I was actually happy that school went online becuz I wasn't hit for not being in class.

Valuable_Passion4938 · 2021-09-25T15:55:39+00:00

I got suspended for a week in 5th grade for dropping a pencil on the floor

Suspended for 3 days in 3rd grade for pushing my chair back to get out of my seat

Suspended for 5 days for sharpening a pencil in 4th grade and 3 days for doing the same thing in 3rd

Suspended for calling a female classmate a bitch in 5th grade after she called me a fagtard

(teacher literally smiled at her when she said this and changed her attitude completely when I retaliated not only that even after several students reported her she got absolutely nothing and was even given a lollipop by the principal)

Got suspended for 2 days for clocking a overweight female classmate after she pushed me in 5th grade on the playground

Got suspended in 6th grade after the volleyball i served to the other side of the net hit a special needs kid in the head pretty hard completely ignoring the fact the teachers aid escorting her decided to walk her through the middle of a ongoing volleyball game (they needed to bring her a wheelchair cause she weighed like 250 pounds and hit her knees on the way down

Almost got expelled in 3rd grade after I told the school counselor I wanted to kill myself they didn’t even tell my parents

There was the in school I got in 7th grade after I beat the shit out of one of the special needs aids because she kept touching me and following me after I told her repeatedly to stop

And how could I forget the time I threw a 25 pound desk at the sub teacher because she was verbally harassing me the whole day and I finally snapped after 5 hours of literal verbal abuse

Or the hundreds of times I was yelled at or received disciplinary action for laughing in 5th grade alone

Then I hear women my age (17m) constantly complain how they’re getting dress coded and how men have it easy, just stfu.

DougDante · 2021-09-25T19:47:21+00:00

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

The Equality Act 2010 says education providers such as schools, colleges and universities mustn’t discriminate against their pupils and students. If you or your child has been discriminated against by a school, college or university, you may be able to take action against them under the Act.

For example, you can make a complaint or you can make a discrimination claim in court.

Ryau · 2021-09-25T22:34:01+00:00

Unfortunately shouldn't be too surprising, studies find that in school boys are discriminated against even in what should be objective grading:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272775718307714?via%3Dihub

A combination of blind and non-blind test scores show that middle school teachers favor girls in their evaluations. This favoritism, estimated as individual teacher effects, has long-term consequences: as measured by their national evaluations three years later, male students make less progress than their female counterparts.

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aaf4372

Discrimination against women is seen as one of the possible causes behind their underrepresentation in certain STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects. We show that this is not the case for the competitive exams used to recruit almost all French secondary and postsecondary teachers and professors. Comparisons of oral non–gender-blind tests with written gender-blind tests for about 100,000 individuals observed in 11 different fields over the period 2006–2013 reveal a bias in favor of women that is strongly increasing with the extent of a field’s male-domination. This bias turns from 3 to 5 percentile ranks for men in literature and foreign languages to about 10 percentile ranks for women in math, physics, or philosophy.

Studies have also found that people care more about women's suffering than men's:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L-4V9iwpVhyMy-sHUgxj8b1PuouQvxa2/view

Female victims were expected to experience more pain from an ambiguous joke and male perpetrators were prescribed harsher punishments (Study 4). Managers were perceived as less moral when firing female (versus male) employees (Study 5). The possibility of gender discrimination intensified the cognitive link between women and victimhood (Study 6). Across six studies in four countries (N = 3,137), harm evaluations were systematically swayed by targets’ gender, suggesting a gender bias in moral typecasting.

https://twitter.com/Scientific_Bird/status/1095403852214472706

Female harm or disadvantage evoked more sympathy and outrage and was perceived as more unfair than equivalent male harm or disadvantage.

stayclassycunts · 2021-09-25T23:06:29+00:00

The uk school system punishes boys for acting like boys

Hollowhowler100 · 2021-09-25T23:25:28+00:00

Ya my country or school is way better than that, a girl walked behind a guy who’d grown his hair out and cut a lot of it with a scissors and then slapped the back of his head whilst her friend filmed her doing it so he turned around and punched her square in the nose, the idiots tried to use the full video as proof and when the principal saw it he sent a copy of it to himself the girls parents and the boys parents took the girls phones (my school can take it for one week if it was used without a teacher’s permission), suspended the girl for a week, gave the girl who filmed it 4 days detention and gave the boy a lunchtime detention (literally 20 minutes), Our principal is fucking awesome though and she hates the zero tolerance bullying thing and has actively ignored it for the 8 years she’s been at my school

asiwaritXR · 2021-09-25T23:29:05+00:00

Thing happened to me a while back. Girl was triggering my (at the time, very severe) anxiety and make me have an attack. After it subsided, I asked her to not do that kind of thing anymore, and she continued. I then called her a whore (which was a horrible thing to do, and I do regret saying it, and not because of the punishment)

She then took it to the head of year. The school therapist was forced to cut contact with me, I was suspended, I had to write an apology letter to her and each of her parents, and I also got a kind of restraining order. She got an hour in the staff office drinking coffee and eating donuts.

Legitimate-Ad-6267 · 2021-09-25T23:50:50+00:00

One of my friends in 7th grade was always getting bitched at by the teacher for talking (other side of the class from her desk) despite the multiple talking girls right infront of her.

The funniest part was when he wasn't even at school, and she still told him to stop talking, only to find out it was someone else.

Lui_Le_Diamond · 2021-09-26T01:34:55+00:00

The UK is particularly bad about sexism towards men.

lookslikematlock · 2021-09-26T05:49:26+00:00

When I was in elementary school this girl came up to me and without saying anything just full on soccer kicked me in the nuts so I slapped her, I ended up getting suspended for 3 days and then OCR (on campus restrictions) for 3 days while she received zero punishment.

*spelling

revlipoki · 2021-09-26T06:23:45+00:00

I never saw a girl being punished in school.

_Renardeau · 2021-09-26T06:38:56+00:00

School is really biased against boys

queensfanobs81 · 2021-09-26T11:05:19+00:00

Not just schools. In life. In general. Unfortunately its been like that. Very unfair; look back in history even. All the male/ female crime riders that committed crimes together: or in some cases the woman was the instigator. I'm sure just as capable as the male counterpart but received a much less sentence. Even female pedophiles arent given a harsh punishment. Many many many cases or instances where a specific crime committed by a woman and if the tables were turned and a male did said crime: he would be punished way harsher. Including that of public opinion.

AnnArchist · 2021-09-25T18:42:01+00:00

Always have been.

That's part of why l believe teachers are overpaid babysitters.

940387 · 2021-09-25T18:54:06+00:00

Yep buddy and you need to learn the human little petty ape mind puts the female on a pedestal due to basic reproductive biology. They can basically never work and have an upper class life while the male provides, all bc they provide the egg and sexually select the future of lur species.

ShakedIsNotAFruit · 2021-09-25T19:53:15+00:00

this is a grudge I still hold since primary school. at 6th grade, I was hanging around in class at break, when sudsenly this girl just whips out this encyclopedia sized book for no apparent reason, chucked it at my face. fell down, started crying and then I called the girl "why did you do that you dumb bitch".

had to go to the ER, no serious damage but a nasty black eye.

I got detention for calling the girl a dumb bitch, meanwhile she only got a letter to her parents.

Right_Pepe · 2021-09-25T17:18:26+00:00

Not just you. It is happening everywhere. Even in conservative Islamic countries.

JamesMattDillon · 2021-09-25T19:41:03+00:00

Women are always held to a higher standard, than us guys. Just like with young men, will have to pay more in car insurance, than young ladies.

MuchBigNice · 2021-09-25T20:14:11+00:00

Not only in school, also in the entire justice system, but yes, the bias exists everywhere.

PlayfulSoup3630 · 2021-09-25T15:48:00+00:00

Hey there brother

charcoalblueaviator · 2021-09-25T22:10:21+00:00

Got beat the shit out of us. Girls were also punished but rarely and to a much lesser degree. Caned, made to stand with your hands up for hours, threw our notebooks, got things thrown at faces and more.

Fortunately corporal punishment got banned since a few years.

12Yeet34 · 2021-09-25T23:32:17+00:00

Yeah, and also boys are expected to take it without any complaint, and girls get to bitch and moan as much as they want to. I'm sorry if I sound sexist with that phrasing, but am I wrong?

TraehNoil · 2021-09-26T00:51:02+00:00

Not only do you think this is true, but it’s a fact.

DreamWarbler · 2021-09-26T04:40:13+00:00

Yes, but it’s also the same throughout you life. If you’re an XY human, don’t fup uck.

Suspicious-Sleep5227 · 2021-09-26T06:46:32+00:00

We pay fines for breaking the law all the time for things like speeding and parking. But the biggest fines we will pay are the ones paid by men who are usually straight as an arrow whose only crime was not being a good husband in the eyes of just one woman.

TRDPaul · 2021-09-26T11:31:25+00:00

Yeah it's just preparing you for adult life where women get less than half the sentence of a man on average for the exact same crime and that's when they even get convicted as they're much more likely to get let off

PsychoZzzorD · 2021-09-25T16:00:41+00:00

It is scientifically proven I believe.

Though it’s harmful to boys, it also comes with an inherent sexism against girls.

TheRealCatch · 2021-09-26T00:29:51+00:00

Yes because not only do girls constantly blame us men for school rules like dress codings, they also get to get off easy like everything else in life because they have what every man wants but then complain that we’re the ones “sexualizing” them.

Cookiecuttermaxy · 2021-09-25T16:18:53+00:00

And let's not forget make boys are more likely to end up in special needs classes than their female counterparts, even though young girls outnumber young boys in mental illness diagnosis.

xsplizzle · 2021-09-25T16:48:06+00:00

lol no its not just you

2021-09-25T16:19:48+00:00

Kinda. I think it depends on the school/staff. I very much encountered that at one school (of 7 including high schools) I attended, but not my experience at the others. I think the administration and one teacher in particular were sexist. Yay catholic school.

togotfury1983 · 2021-09-25T16:33:06+00:00

Not only punishments but there was an international study that showed every country, every school, through every grade gave boys lower scores than their female classmates do to teachers prejudice against boys

LimitlessMoonlight · 2021-09-25T22:40:08+00:00

What were you guys talking about though? The topic may have been the issue.

warlockjmr89 · 2021-09-25T23:01:55+00:00

No not at all Mrs is a teacher. Just recently was told of a boy getting a much harsher treatment for doing the exact same thing as a girl did.

Spare-Application-26 · 2021-09-26T06:07:57+00:00

No lol

2021-09-27T13:04:50+00:00

I mean this is just a fact. Worldwide. Regardless of country or culture. Not sure why this is even being framed like a question/debate...

markoboy875345 · 2021-09-27T14:02:37+00:00

In my school girls can play on phones and yell in class but i once looked at my phone to see the clock well teacher saw it and she starts to yell at me and she kicked me from the class fuck that hellhole

TheBlackMobster · 2021-09-29T18:43:03+00:00

In 11th grade i got caught getting head from the school whore and im the one that got suspended not her.

Wild-Exam466 · 2021-10-09T19:44:06+00:00

Arguably that is sexist, however, the reason is more likely due to the fact that girls are usually better behaved and don't get into trouble as much as boys. Emerson said, "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.:

someone_butnoone · 2021-10-23T10:28:46+00:00

Its common sense that boys are given worse punishment and far more often. Not a UK thing, its an Earth thing
